Ours has gone down this year again, which we are really chuffed about, since everything else has gone up (we unfortunately found out our car is in a high tax band for the road fund liscence and we are looking at at least £260 for that next April - incidentally my hubby grilled a politicain who wanted us to vote for his party about how we were supposed to afford this, and you know what he said...to buy a new car Hello, we can't afford one????) Sorry about that rant, I was flaming fuming at how stupid he was!
